This fresh raspberry honey deuce is a fruity, refreshing cocktail made with real raspberries, lemonade, and vodka, finished with the signature honeydew melon garnish. Inspired by the classic Honey Deuce, this version delivers a brighter, more natural berry flavor that is perfect for summer entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries (from 1 pint), plus more for garnish
  • 2 cups store-bought lemonade
  • 1/2 cup (4 oz.) vodka
  • 12 honeydew melon balls (use a melon baller or small scoop)

Instructions

  1. Place the raspberries in a pitcher. Use a cocktail muddler or the handle of a wooden spoon to gently mash them until juicy and broken down.
  2. Add the lemonade and vodka to the pitcher. Stir until well combined.
  3. Set a fine-mesh strainer over a clean container. Pour the mixture through the strainer to remove pulp and seeds.
  4. Fill four rocks glasses with ice. Pour the strained cocktail mixture into each glass.
  5. 5. Garnish each drink with a cocktail pick holding three honeydew melon balls and a few fresh raspberries.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy chilled.

Notes

  • For a smoother cocktail, strain well to remove raspberry seeds and pulp.
  • If your lemonade is very sweet, add a small squeeze of fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavor.
  • Frozen raspberries can work in place of fresh, but the drink may look slightly cloudier after straining.
  • For a nonalcoholic version, replace the vodka with extra lemonade or a splash of sparkling water.
  • You can prepare the garnish and strain the base ahead of time, then pour over ice just before serving.
  • Best served for summer parties, brunch, or tennis-inspired gatherings.
